Novation Bass Station Rack

The Bass Station is an incredible little synth that was an instant
success when released. It is a monophonic analog bass synthesizer and was
basically one of the first new analog synths to hit the music market since the 1980's. It
is great at recreating classic TB-303
lines and fat Moog tones. Every control from typical analog synths can be
found on this: ADSR, filter, oscillator sync modes, tuning, and LFO!
And most of these can be MIDI controlled.

The Bass Station has dual-DCO's which are true analog oscillators, digitally synchronized, to
generate analog but stable sawtooth and pulse waveforms (the same waveforms offered by the TB-303). They can each be tuned, mixed
and synced together. The analog filter is a switchable 12 or 24dB/oct with
cutoff, resonance, envelope amount, and assignable ADSR. The LFO has
variable speed and delay with random, triangle or sawtooth shapes. The
LFO can modulate the filter and/or PWM.

A very useful feature includes the built in MIDI/CV converter which allows
you to control the Bass Station from an older analog synth, or you can
control analog synths with MIDI through the Bass Station! All knob
settings are MIDI transmit/receivable and there are 60 user patches for
program storage. Another important feature is the analog input for
filtering external sound sources! The Bass
Station Keyboard was the original version but is a bit more limited than
this classic. It is used by William
Ørbit, Biosphere, Massive Attack, Orbital, Apollo 440, Nine Inch Nails,
Radiohead, Jimi Tenor, Laurent Garnier, ATB, Sneaker Pimps, Out of Logic and
Underworld.
